Those Who Work From Home - Time Management?

[KilaMila]

The most important thing that I realized during this time, is that you have to be honest with yourself first of all.
And not to the alarm clock, bosses, relatives, and so on.
Yes, you should always be as honest as possible in front of your boss and family, but when you are honest with yourself, it is quite different.
When you are honest with yourself, you understand what you want to do, what you do not want to do, when you goof off, and then you justify yourself.
And it turns out that if you can't be honest with yourself, how can you be honest with others?
The same goes for rescheduling work, or for alarm clocks that you purposely do not respond to or forget.
Be honest with yourself)

I prefer to commence work in the morning, as this is when I am at my most efficient and focused. By tackling challenging tasks during the first half of the day, I ensure that I have ample energy and mental clarity to overcome any complexities that may arise. This strategic approach allows me to make significant progress early on and sets a positive momentum for the rest of the day.

What has worked for me is setting strict work boundaries at home, similar to an office. I schedule my tasks with specific time blocks, just like meetings, and stick to them as if I were in the office. This means when it's 'work time,' I don't do house chores – they're scheduled for after 'office hours.'

For breaks, I use the Pomodoro technique, setting a timer for work and then for a break, which helps to keep the short breaks from turning into extended distractions. It took a while, but now it's a habit.

Setting strict work boundaries at home really hits the nail on the head. Treating my home space like an office, with specific work hours and a dedicated workspace, makes a huge difference. It's about creating that mental shift from 'home' to 'work'.
